The Real Madrid home jersey for the season 2012/13 is surprisingly white. It is been like that for vast majority of the club’s 110 years of history. The interesting part comes when contrast color, details, new pattern etc. are revealed.

What makes the jersey an anniversary jersey ? Well, the badge to the left arm sleeve. It is only present during Spanish league matches. In the UEFA Champions League the spot is taken up by the honors badge displaying all of RM’s 9 CL titles so far.

The second badge on the jersey which is placed to the right arm sleeve is the LFP badge. The LFP badge is the Spanish league badge from their professional league Liga Futbol Profesional.

The industrial age is coming back upon us. Outsourcing is being re-sourced or near-shored and we see an increasing use of industrial warehouses in the modern service economy. Let’s take this development to the world of football shirts and let’s see what we can do.

The current season of 2012/13 is coming to an end. A new season 2013/14 is on the way. Though the new season itself will only start by the end of August the new jerseys will come out long time before that.

In the case of Real Madrid it is expected that the new home jersey will be presented at the Bernabeu on the first of June in the last home match of the season. The new away jersey is expected to launch at about the same time.

It is pretty much a given thing that the home jersey will be white. The grand question coming up for each new season is which contrasting color will go along with the white. For the season 13/14 that color will be orange. The sponsor will change as well. Bwin is going out. Coming in instead is Fly Emirates. The sponsor logo will be grey and not orange though.

It is still unclear what the color of the name and number sets will be. Most likely either orange or grey.

The away jersey will be cobalt blue with white stripes. Almost certainly the name and number sets accompanying the jersey will be white. Shorts and socks will be blue as well so that it will end up being an all blue affair.

Real Madrid is generous in the sense that two new kits is not enough. They want 3. So Real Madrid will also launch a UCL away jersey in August. For the season 13/14 the color will be orange. The entire kit will be orange in fact. Whether the accompanying name and number set will be white or grey remains yet to be seen. But most likely it will be either of those two colors.

So still a couple of weeks to go before the new jersey is being revealed!
